| <title>Troubleshooting and Debugging Apache HBase</title> |
| <section xml:id="trouble.general"> |
| <title>General Guidelines</title> |
| <para> |
| Always start with the master log (TODO: Which lines?). |
| Normally it’s just printing the same lines over and over again. |
| If not, then there’s an issue. |
| Google or <link xlink:href="http://search-hadoop.com">search-hadoop.com</link> |
| should return some hits for those exceptions you’re seeing. |
| </para> |
| <para> |
| An error rarely comes alone in Apache HBase, usually when something gets screwed up what will |
| follow may be hundreds of exceptions and stack traces coming from all over the place. |
| The best way to approach this type of problem is to walk the log up to where it all |
| began, for example one trick with RegionServers is that they will print some |
| metrics when aborting so grepping for <emphasis>Dump</emphasis> |
| should get you around the start of the problem. |
| </para> |
| <para> |
| RegionServer suicides are “normal”, as this is what they do when something goes wrong. |
| For example, if ulimit and xcievers (the two most important initial settings, see <xref linkend="ulimit" />) |
| aren’t changed, it will make it impossible at some point for DataNodes to create new threads |
| that from the HBase point of view is seen as if HDFS was gone. Think about what would happen if your |
| MySQL database was suddenly unable to access files on your local file system, well it’s the same with |
| HBase and HDFS. Another very common reason to see RegionServers committing seppuku is when they enter |
| prolonged garbage collection pauses that last longer than the default ZooKeeper session timeout. |
| For more information on GC pauses, see the |
| <link xlink:href="http://www.cloudera.com/blog/2011/02/avoiding-full-gcs-in-hbase-with-memstore-local-allocation-buffers-part-1/">3 part blog post</link> by Todd Lipcon |

| <para>Enabling the RPC-level logging on a RegionServer can often given |
| insight on timings at the server. Once enabled, the amount of log |
| spewed is voluminous. It is not recommended that you leave this |
| logging on for more than short bursts of time. To enable RPC-level |
| logging, browse to the RegionServer UI and click on |
| <emphasis>Log Level</emphasis>. Set the log level to <varname>DEBUG</varname> for the package |
| <classname>org.apache.hadoop.ipc</classname> (Thats right, for |
| <classname>hadoop.ipc</classname>, NOT, <classname>hbase.ipc</classname>). Then tail the RegionServers log. Analyze.</para> |
| <para>To disable, set the logging level back to <varname>INFO</varname> level. |
| </para> |
| </section> |

| <section xml:id="trouble.log.gc"> |
| <title>JVM Garbage Collection Logs</title> |
| <para>HBase is memory intensive, and using the default GC you can see long pauses in all threads including the <emphasis>Juliet Pause</emphasis> aka "GC of Death". |
| To help debug this or confirm this is happening GC logging can be turned on in the Java virtual machine. |
| </para> |
| <para> |
| To enable, in <filename>hbase-env.sh</filename>, uncomment one of the below lines : |
| <programlisting> |
| # This enables basic gc logging to the .out file. |
| # export SERVER_GC_OPTS="-verbose:gc -XX:+PrintGCDetails -XX:+PrintGCDateStamps" |
| |
| # This enables basic gc logging to its own file. |
| # export SERVER_GC_OPTS="-verbose:gc -XX:+PrintGCDetails -XX:+PrintGCDateStamps -Xloggc:<FILE-PATH>" |
| |
| # This enables basic GC logging to its own file with automatic log rolling. Only applies to jdk 1.6.0_34+ and 1.7.0_2+. |

| # If <FILE-PATH> is not replaced, the log file(.gc) would be generated in the HBASE_LOG_DIR. |

| </programlisting> |
| </para> |
| <para> |
| The first line indicates that the CMS concurrent mark (finding garbage) has taken 2.4 seconds. But this is a _concurrent_ 2.4 seconds, Java has not been paused at any point in time. |
| </para> |
| <para> |
| There are a few more minor GCs, then there is a pause at the 2nd last line: |
| <programlisting> |
| 64901.616: [GC[YG occupancy: 645 K (5568 K)]64901.616: [Rescan (parallel) , 0.0020210 secs]64901.618: [weak refs processing, 0.0027950 secs] [1 CMS-remark: 2866753K(3055704K)] 2867399K(3061272K), 0.0049380 secs] [Times: user=0.00 sys=0.01, real=0.01 secs] |
| </programlisting> |
| </para> |
| <para> |
| The pause here is 0.0049380 seconds (aka 4.9 milliseconds) to 'remark' the heap. |
| </para> |
| <para> |
| At this point the sweep starts, and you can watch the heap size go down: |
| <programlisting> |
| 64901.637: [GC 64901.637: [ParNew: 5501K->569K(5568K), 0.0097350 secs] 2871958K->2867441K(3061272K), 0.0098370 secs] [Times: user=0.05 sys=0.00, real=0.01 secs] |
| ... lines removed ... |
| 64904.936: [GC 64904.936: [ParNew: 5532K->568K(5568K), 0.0070720 secs] 1365024K->1360689K(3061272K), 0.0071930 secs] [Times: user=0.05 sys=0.00, real=0.01 secs] |
| 64904.953: [CMS-concurrent-sweep: 2.030/3.332 secs] [Times: user=9.57 sys=0.26, real=3.33 secs] |
| </programlisting> |
| At this point, the CMS sweep took 3.332 seconds, and heap went from about ~ 2.8 GB to 1.3 GB (approximate). |
| </para> |
| <para> |
| The key points here is to keep all these pauses low. CMS pauses are always low, but if your ParNew starts growing, you can see minor GC pauses approach 100ms, exceed 100ms and hit as high at 400ms. |
| </para> |
| <para> |
| This can be due to the size of the ParNew, which should be relatively small. If your ParNew is very large after running HBase for a while, in one example a ParNew was about 150MB, then you might have to constrain the size of ParNew (The larger it is, the longer the collections take but if its too small, objects are promoted to old gen too quickly). In the below we constrain new gen size to 64m. |
| </para> |
| <para> |
| Add the below line in <filename>hbase-env.sh</filename>: |
| <programlisting> |
| export SERVER_GC_OPTS="$SERVER_GC_OPTS -XX:NewSize=64m -XX:MaxNewSize=64m" |
| </programlisting> |
| </para> |
| <para> |
| Similarly, to enable GC logging for client processes, uncomment one of the below lines in <filename>hbase-env.sh</filename>: |
| <programlisting> |
| # This enables basic gc logging to the .out file. |
| # export CLIENT_GC_OPTS="-verbose:gc -XX:+PrintGCDetails -XX:+PrintGCDateStamps" |
| |
| # This enables basic gc logging to its own file. |

| |
| # This enables basic GC logging to its own file with automatic log rolling. Only applies to jdk 1.6.0_34+ and 1.7.0_2+. |

| <para> |
| Here we can see that the system load average during the last five minutes is 3.75, which very roughly means that on average 3.75 threads were waiting for CPU time during these 5 minutes. In general, the “perfect” utilization equals to the number of cores, under that number the machine is under utilized and over that the machine is over utilized. This is an important concept, see this article to understand it more: <link xlink:href="http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/9001">http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/9001</link>. |
| </para> |
| <para> |
| Apart from load, we can see that the system is using almost all its available RAM but most of it is used for the OS cache (which is good). The swap only has a few KBs in it and this is wanted, high numbers would indicate swapping activity which is the nemesis of performance of Java systems. Another way to detect swapping is when the load average goes through the roof (although this could also be caused by things like a dying disk, among others). |
| </para> |
| <para> |
| The list of processes isn’t super useful by default, all we know is that 3 java processes are using about 111% of the CPUs. To know which is which, simply type “c” and each line will be expanded. Typing “1” will give you the detail of how each CPU is used instead of the average for all of them like shown here. |

| <title>Long Client Pauses With Compression</title> |
| <para>This is a fairly frequent question on the Apache HBase dist-list. The scenario is that a client is typically inserting a lot of data into a |
| relatively un-optimized HBase cluster. Compression can exacerbate the pauses, although it is not the source of the problem.</para> |
| <para>See <xref linkend="precreate.regions"/> on the pattern for pre-creating regions and confirm that the table isn't starting with a single region.</para> |
| <para>See <xref linkend="perf.configurations"/> for cluster configuration, particularly <code>hbase.hstore.blockingStoreFiles</code>, <code>hbase.hregion.memstore.block.multiplier</code>, |
| <code>MAX_FILESIZE</code> (region size), and <code>MEMSTORE_FLUSHSIZE.</code> </para> |
| <para>A slightly longer explanation of why pauses can happen is as follows: Puts are sometimes blocked on the MemStores which are blocked by the flusher thread which is blocked because there are |
| too many files to compact because the compactor is given too many small files to compact and has to compact the same data repeatedly. This situation can occur even with minor compactions. |
| Compounding this situation, Apache HBase doesn't compress data in memory. Thus, the 64MB that lives in the MemStore could become a 6MB file after compression - which results in a smaller StoreFile. The upside is that |
| more data is packed into the same region, but performance is achieved by being able to write larger files - which is why HBase waits until the flushize before writing a new StoreFile. And smaller StoreFiles |
| become targets for compaction. Without compression the files are much bigger and don't need as much compaction, however this is at the expense of I/O. |

| A workaround is passing your client-side JVM a reasonable value for <code>-XX:MaxDirectMemorySize</code>. By default, |
| the <varname>MaxDirectMemorySize</varname> is equal to your <code>-Xmx</code> max heapsize setting (if <code>-Xmx</code> is set). |
| Try seting it to something smaller (for example, one user had success setting it to <code>1g</code> when |
| they had a client-side heap of <code>12g</code>). If you set it too small, it will bring on <code>FullGCs</code> so keep |
| it a bit hefty. You want to make this setting client-side only especially if you are running the new experiemental |
| server-side off-heap cache since this feature depends on being able to use big direct buffers (You may have to keep |

| <para> |
| There can be several causes that produce this symptom. |
| </para> |
| <para> |
| First, check that you have a valid Kerberos ticket. One is required in order to set up communication with a secure Apache HBase cluster. Examine the ticket currently in the credential cache, if any, by running the klist command line utility. If no ticket is listed, you must obtain a ticket by running the kinit command with either a keytab specified, or by interactively entering a password for the desired principal. |
| </para> |
| <para> |
| Then, consult the <link xlink:href="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/guide/security/jgss/tutorials/Troubleshooting.html">Java Security Guide troubleshooting section</link>. The most common problem addressed there is resolved by setting javax.security.auth.useSubjectCredsOnly system property value to false. |
| </para> |
| <para> |
| Because of a change in the format in which MIT Kerberos writes its credentials cache, there is a bug in the Oracle JDK 6 Update 26 and earlier that causes Java to be unable to read the Kerberos credentials cache created by versions of MIT Kerberos 1.8.1 or higher. If you have this problematic combination of components in your environment, to work around this problem, first log in with kinit and then immediately refresh the credential cache with kinit -R. The refresh will rewrite the credential cache without the problematic formatting. |
| </para> |
| <para> |
| Finally, depending on your Kerberos configuration, you may need to install the <link xlink:href="http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.4.2/docs/guide/security/jce/JCERefGuide.html">Java Cryptography Extension</link>, or JCE. Insure the JCE jars are on the classpath on both server and client systems. |
